2020 Map of Baird Inlet C-6 SW

About this map

Kinaruk River meanders through the central landscape of this Bethel Census Area quadrangle, part of a sprawling aqueous network typical of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The terrain is dominated by an intricate pattern of small ponds and unnamed wetlands, punctuated by larger water bodies like Kinarak Lake in the southwest. This 2020 topographic record illustrates a region defined by its hydrography rather than human settlement, where Arnok Creek flows through the southern reaches. The absence of roads or established towns emphasizes the wilderness character of the area, which is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids including t6n r85w and t5n r84w. For researchers, the map provides a precise baseline of shoreline positions and waterway channels in a shifting alluvial environment.
